Makaze Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 (edited) Posting this on behalf of Thingyman. INVITATION TO THE MAFIA CHAMPIONSHIP (SEASON 4) Hello everyone! :) I would very much like to invite your community to take part in Season 4 of the Mafia Championship. The Mafia Championship is an annual online tournament series that pits representatives from various forum Mafia (aka Werewolf) communities against one another as they compete to determine the Internet’s greatest forum Mafia player. Each participating community democratically elects one person to represent them and become their “Champion”. Season 1 ran in 2013-2014, while Season 2 and Season 3 ran in 2015 and 2016, respectively. As of Season 3, a total of 160 communities have been represented in the Mafia Championship, making it the largest cross-forum event on the Internet. I hope that all this sounds very exciting to you guys :) 1. Do you accept the invite? If your community wishes to participate, please confirm your participation to me before April 13 to ensure yourselves a spot. If you need more time than this to think about whether you wish to participate, let me know and I can extend the deadline. If you agree to participate, the deadline for selecting your representative is April 22. If this is too soon for you, again, just let me know :) The games will take place on Mafia Universe. If it’s okay, I can link directly to the general discussion thread regarding this topic on Mafia Universe. Important notes You may decide yourselves how you want to elect your representative, but we highly recommend some sort of democratic process (public nominations followed by a poll usually works out well). In addition to electing a representative, you should also name an alternate who will be asked to step in if the first choice needs to back out. Your representative should be prepared for having to read upwards of 500 posts per 24 hours during the early stages of the game. Additionally, there’s a requirement that each player must make at least 10 posts per Game Day. Only active players should apply/participate. I repeat: Your chosen player needs to be able to promise a good amount of activity on a daily basis. Relevant only to communities that participated last season: Season 3 Finalists are not eligible to play again this season. 2. Season 4 Format The tournament structure 135 communities will participate, each sending one representative. 9 Qualifying Games will be played consisting of 15 players each. I.e. every representative plays in one Qualifying Game. 1 player will advance directly to the Finale Game from each Qualifying Game. The players themselves vote post-game to determine who is deserving of advancement. I.e. 9 of the 15 finalists will be found this way. A Jury consisting of finalists from Season 3 will along with me discuss and vote to determine a group of 30 wildcard players who will play in 2 Semi Final Wildcard Games. From each of these two games, three players will directly advance to the Finale Game. The Finale Game is played. Once it has completed, the players vote to determine who shall hold the title of Season 4 Champion. The setup MOUNTAINOUS:12 Vanilla Townies3 Mafia Goons We’re going back to basics for Season 4. Each season we’re changing it up, and for this season it’s finally time to play without any power roles or abilities at all. Pure mafia. You have only yourself and your reading/bluffing abilities to count on. Relevant mechanics info Day start. Deadline Lynch w/ Option for Majority starting Day 2. I.e. when day timer runs out, person with most votes will be lynched. However, day can also be ended early (starting Day 2) if there is ever a majority of votes on one person. If there is a tied lynch, one of the tied players will be randomly lynched. No outside communication. I.e. you may not contact the other players outside of the thread (unless you are Mafia and wish to speak with your teammates). Phase Lengths and Deadlines will be up to the players themselves (I’ll organize them into games with deadlines that suit their preferences). Thread is locked during Night Phases. 3. Season 4 Timeline The first Qualifying Game is currently set to start April 24th. Additional games will take place in the 1-3 months following. I will create a Doodle and find out the best times to start the various games so that preferably everyone gets to play during a time that suits them well. Kind regards, Thingyman If you want to get in contact with me ASAP, you can find me on Skype (thingyman) or Discord (Thingyman#6075).

Shin Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I was going to say send Rapier as a representation of our site's activity, but I'm cool with Paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I represent the site even worse. I'm sad because I love the mountainous format, and it would give me a chance to blow up at people who treat it as a slot machine because of their over dependence on prs instead of trying to read each other. Paper is good candidate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makaze Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 I don't know if I'll have the time, so if I'm going to make time for it, I'd like to be representing someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldrick Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Would it be cheating for Gaius to use his future-posting abilities to determine the flips before they happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
